STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Brooklyn federal judge has ruled that a health and gym teacher from Laurie Intermediate School in New Springville who was tossed into a Department of Education "rubber room" after allowing slang terminology as part of her sex ed lessons can sue the city over her suspension, according to a published report.

Faith Kramer, 48, a 26-year tenured teacher, acted correctly when she permitted students to use slang words to describe reproductive body parts and sexual acts in her sexual education/HIV/AIDS classes, ruled Judge Jack Weinstein, according to a report in the New York Post.

"If the Board of Education wants its teachers to instruct adolescents about HIV using Latinism of the academy, excluding vulgarism of the street, it should tell them so, plainly," wrote Weinstein in his decision, the Post reported.

"The regulation relied upon by the Board did not prohibit Ms. Kramer’s conduct," Weinstein wrote. "It appears to have been selected post hoc, long after her suspension, to justify the measures that had been taken in response to parents’ complaints."

Ms. Kramer sued the Department of Education for $1 million last year when she was suspended and placed in a "rubber room" for five months, according to the report. Parents, who saw the notes from their children's class, complained to officials.
